A peaceful museum in the middle of Tokyo has a large Japanese landscape garden in addition to its minimalists museum. The entrance to the museum is lined by bamboo to shield you from the hectic city and calm your mind. The bright entrance flows over in the gallery on the first floor and also gives you access to the garden at the back of the museum. The exhibition consists of sculptures, textiles and other Asian artifacts collected by mr.Nezu. Kengo Kuma made a traditional shape with modern materials to let the building look light and thin.
